• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is sad. Where you and I come from, we have a lot of maize but do not have market. Nevertheless, a few kilometres away there are Kenyans who do not have anything to eat. It is so sad. You will remember that maize farmers will have a poor harvest this year because of erratic rains, especially during this season. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: It is very unfortunate that we do not have market for our produce. Sen. (Dr.) Mbito comes from Trans Nzoia County, which is one of the biggest bread baskets, yet in the northern part of Kenya, Kenyans do not have access to food. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: This issue of creating interventions and tokenism every time like they are doing favours to the northern part of Kenya should stop. The other day, I heard that the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) was given to the military, although the courts have declared it unconstitutional and illegal. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: We expected them to mop animals a buy them. We expected Kenyans from the northern part of this Republic like Samburu and other areas to be given livestock insurance. We could have modern abattoirs where these animals are bought in large numbers, especially in the northern part of Kenya through KMC. Abattoirs must be built in the northern part of Kenya so that when such drought strikes--- view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: I watched one of the interviews on residents that come from the northern part of Kenya. They believe that they are not poor. It is because they have not been given the opportunity to sell their animals when drought and famine strikes. They get the money then the Government processes it through abattoirs or the KMC. We then package that meat and sell it outside the country. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that it is really unfortunate that we are discussing this at this point in time. They are making interventions that they should have addressed before. Kenya does not lack in its food supply. Where I come from, we have a lot of food. We do not have market only. Why does the Government not come up with innovative ways? view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: I challenge the county governments from the northern part of this Republic to partner with North Rift counties that produce more food. They can take it to them by a bilateral agreement between counties. They can mop up the maize that we have in excess and use the other animal feeds. They should have been bought in one way or the other. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Fortunately, or unfortunately the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in charge of the National Treasury comes from the northern part of Kenya. I have not seen him being proactive in drought intervention mechanisms. He has been very busy launching the UPYA movement in northern Kenya. I do not know whether it is part of the drought intervention. All in all, I just wanted to say--- view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, can you protect me from the Senate Majority Leader. I do not know why he is shouting. I was just saying that--- view
